A Public Service Annoucement from EV Grieve
GOOD GOD, WHATEVER YOU DO, STAY AWAY FROM SIXTH AVENUE BETWEEN 40th STREET AND 58th STREET TODAY!
Oh, why? Let me get press release-y: More than 110 of baseball's greatest current and retired players will star in the fourth annual All-Star Game Red Carpet Parade presented by Chevy on Tuesday, July 15th from 1 p.m. - 3 p.m., before the 79th Major League Baseball All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium. The All-Star Game Red Carpet Parade, which will start at 40th Street and Sixth Avenue and end at 58th Street and Sixth Avenue, is expected to draw approximately 1 million fans on the streets and from office buildings along the route.
Oh, and Mayor Bloomberg will be there!
Anyway, hope someone pulled up the weeds from Sixth Avenue.

Things that I won't be doing tonight
I keep getting e-mails from my good friends at Ticketmaster saying that seats are still available for tonight's Home Run Derby at Yankee Stadium. Plus, you can come early and watch the all-stars warm up for tomorrow night's annual All-Star Game! Wow, that sounds boring! Still, maybe I could get Nate McLouth's autograph! (Yeah, "who?" is right.)
So, I finally thought I'd take a look. Maybe I'd pluck down my $20 for a tier reserve seat.
Ha!
Let's see, Tier 11, Row X....$150. Plus! The $8 "convenience charge."
So what's the make a decent seat? Box 72, third-base side...$600! Plus! The $8 "convenience charge."

Lady Liberty is attracting true New York sports fans!
As Gothamist reported June 5, Major League Baseball put 42 8 1/2 feet tall Statues of Liberty around New York City in preparation for this year's All-Star Game, which will be played at Yankee Stadium on July 15. Each mini-liberty is adorned with the colors of a Major League baseball team, such as the one below for the Chicago White Sox that's on 14th Street and 4th Avenue.
It's a great way for us to show the world what great sports we are!
By the way, look at the size of Lady Liberty's feet! Wish I had put something next to the foot for scale, something like a midsized car.
[OOPS! East Village Podcasts had a good piece on the baseball statues last Thursday. Sorry fellas! And yes -- Walgreens is still selling that post-Halloween candy corn...]
Meanwhile, just stop putting baseball stuff on her. We get it.
I don't get this ad, though. The best in NY? OK, David Wright. Mets. 50 Cent. Born in Queens. OK. David Ortiz? He plays for Boston. Tell me what he has to do with New York. (Aside from being a Yankee killer through the years...)
